New member, I apologize if format too long, etc..learning!

I am open to either factory 18" Staggered widths or 19" same

Looking for feedback on ride quality as well as recommendations on sizes...Looking for a bolder look than premium multi spoke wheels that came on it..18X8.5 Front 18X9.5 Rear

We bought this SL550 in the fall '12 with 30K miles and Pirrelli PZero were tracking oddly even though they had tread, kind of made you seasick...

Tossed those out and for this past nasty Winter we mounted Blizzaks on the factory premium 18" rims with back tires same size as front, so stretched the extra inch on the 9.5" per users manual....Car was awesome in snow, but we limited it, as we did not want to have paint and saly damage..impressive though due to weight and traction control...Keeping that set up for future winters on cape cod

My wife loves the ride quality but now that it is May, they have to be stored before they wear in warm weather and get too soft to be dangerous in the heat. I want a quiet ride again too. The snows definitely howl a bit


FOR THE NEW SUMMER SETUP:
We would like softness over crazy stiffness, and want factory setups only, not interested in clones, etc. Any wheel with a wide lip would appeal to her, I saw that even 17" would fit per figment guides, and would be soft and lower cost tires, but we thought 18" keeps the clean modern R230 look intact. 19" AMG is fine if someone tells me ride doesn't suffer

No chromed ones please. Polished clear coat is first choice for easy cleaning, if there was an option for that or silver or machined is fine. Not really sure of all OEM choices over the model years of R230. The only ones I found were the 50th anniversary which is nice, (sold) and not likely available because they were rare. I was hoping newer years have no problem with offsets etc since these may be more readily available and still have factory tires, minimal wear, etc...don't want to risk another worn out set that tracks all over the placed like were on it before. Maybe advise all available R230 factory options too if anyone has researched that..

Car is Black, Tan leather

My car would not start, I assumed it was the starter. Replaced the starter and still no start.
Thinking back...My key (remote) fell apart and I put it back together.
Perhaps the alarm system is not allowing car to start.
The cars cranks, starts to turn over and stops.
Could someone provide me with step by step instructions on how to program the keyless entry fob. It's called a switch blade fob.

Thanks for your time and consideration
